Erica was not sure whether she should lease or buy the car that she liked. The salesman at the car showroom informed her that she could either purchase the car by paying $17,500 immediately or she could lease it by making payments of $180 at the beginning of every month for 4 years. At the end of 4 years, she would have to pay a residual value of $10,000 to purchase the car. Which option would be less expensive if money earns 3% compounded quarterly?
